Modern Colonization by Medical Intervention adds to our understanding of the political and economic transformations establishing colonial modernity in Puerto Rico. By focusing on influential physicians' clinical work and their access to a remote and inaccessible rural population, this volume details how rural areas suffered the ravages of social dislocation, unemployment and hunger. Puerto Rican physicians became centrally implicated in the struggle between labour and capital enforcing the island's subordination to colonial capitalism.
Nicole Trujillo-Pagán, Ph.D. (2003), University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Latina/o Studies at Wayne State University. She has published articles and book chapters on Latinos and state policy.
